HEAD

Use the orange yarn.
Ch 6. Stitches are worked around both sides of the foundation chain.
Rnd 1: start in second chain from the hook, inc in this stitch, 3 sc, 3 sc in last st. Continue on the other side of the foundation chain, 4 sc, (fig 1) [12]
Rnd 2: 2 inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, inc [18]
Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x2, 3 sc, (sc, inc) x3, 4 sc, inc [24]
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x2, 3 sc, (2 sc, inc) x3, 5 sc, inc [30]
Rnd 5: 2 sc, (inc, 3 sc) x2, 3 sc, (inc, 3 sc) x3, 3 sc, inc, sc (fig 2) [36]

Rnd 6-10: sc around, (fig 3) [36], 5 rounds

Rnd 11: 3 sc, 3 sc in next stitch (it means, crochet 3 sc in one stitch), 17 sc, 3 sc in next stitch, 14 sc [40]

How to change the color of yarn:

With the two loops from the previous yarn on the hook (fig 4), wrap the new yarn around the hook, then pull the new yarn through the two loops of the stitch (fig 5).

• Tip: I use one way that’s quite easy and works well, leaving the yarn we don’t use behind the work. When it’s time to use again, pick the yarn up again and carry it across the back (inside) of your work before making the next color change.
Of course, you can use your technique to work with two or more colors

•Tip: give the tail of the previous yarn a nice tug when changing yarn colors, to prevent loose stitches. You will notice the big loops
at the back. Make sure the loops are loose enough to stretch when you stuff the head.
Otherwise, you will have a scrunched fox face.

Rnd 12: orange yarn: 4 sc, 3 sc in next stitch, 2 sc, (attach the white yarn, be sure that the next stitch will be white), white yarn: 6 sc (fig 6),
orange yarn: 3 sc, white yarn: 6 sc, orange
yarn: 2 sc, 3 sc in next stitch, 15 sc, (fig 7) [44]

• Tip: to avoid holes that can occur when changing colors, make sure to lay the previously used yarn flat on the backside (inside) while making the next two single crochet stitches. This will secure the previously used yarn in place and gaps should not form at the color change points (fig 8).
Rnd 13: orange yarn: 5 sc, 3 sc in next stitch, 4 sc, white yarn: 6 sc, orange yarn: sc, white yarn: 6 sc, orange yarn: 4 sc, 3 sc in next stitch, 16 sc, (fig 9) [48]
Rnd 14: orange yarn: 4 sc, skip 6 stitches and insert the hook in next stitch (fig 10, 11), 3 sc, white yarn: 11 sc, orange yarn: 4 sc, skip next 6 stitches, 14 sc, (fig 12) [36]

Cut the white yarn.

Rnd 15: 34 sc, put your stitch marker here. It will be the new beginning (fig 13). [34]
Rnd 16: (dec, 3 sc) x3, 3 sc, (dec, 3 sc) x3, 3 sc [30]
Start to stuff the head

Rnd 17: (dec, 2 sc) x3, 3 sc, (dec, 2 sc) x3, 3 sc [24]
Rnd 18: (4 dec, 4 sc) x2 [16]
Stuff the head firmly (fig 14).

Don’t cut the yarn, we continue to crochet
